When our chapter was under total (which was pretty much always), we treated formal dinner as an open recruitment event. Every Thursday was formal dinner. We asked people to invite particular friends who might be good PNMs to dinner. It was a low key way to meet people and for them to decide if they were interested. Our food was way better than the dorms. It wasn't open to random PNMs, just people who were specifically invited.
If you think the walk to the house is making it hard to attract people to events, I would suggest trying to hold events at the dorms and make sure those events are things that might draw people in. Free food always worked on me when I was a student.
